Summary
Early detection and management of deafness are crucial public health priorities. Functional rehabilitation includes hearing aids and auditory implants, with financial support from various organizations.
Area of Science:
- Audiology
- Public Health
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Deafness management is a significant public health concern.
- Undetected deafness negatively impacts children's development and exacerbates adult health risks.
- Effective deafness detection strategies are challenging, especially in adults.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the public health implications of deafness.
- To discuss current and needed strategies for deafness detection.
- To outline the functional rehabilitation options for hearing loss.
Main Methods:
- Review of current management and rehabilitation strategies for deafness.
- Discussion of different types of auditory implants.
- Consideration of financial management actors for medical devices.
Main Results:
- Systematic newborn screening is effective for early detection.
- Adult deafness detection requires further development.
- Hearing aids and auditory implants (bone anchored, middle ear, cochlear) are key rehabilitation tools.
Conclusions:
- Addressing the public health challenge of deafness requires improved detection and accessible rehabilitation.
- A multidisciplinary approach involving social organizations is vital for financial management of hearing devices.

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

The auditory ossicles of the middle ear transmit sounds from the air as vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea. The auditory ossicles consist of two malleus (hammer) bones, two incus (anvil) bones, and two stapes (stirrups), one on each side. These bones develop during the fetal stage and are the ones to ossify first. They are fully mature at birth and do not grow afterward.
The aptly named stapes look very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in...

Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...
